Concern Grows Over E-voting Paper Trails
Posted on July 15, 2004
As the November election approaches States are putting final preparations together to be ready when people come to vote on election day. Many districts will be using new digital voting systems, known as e-voting machines, developed by companies like Diebold Election Systems. Concern is growing that these systems will not provide a paper trail so people can make sure their vote was correctly cast. A campaign, called Computer Ate My Vote, is underway to urge state election officials to prohibit the use of computerized voting machines until we know they are safe and have a way to run reliable recounts.
The Computer Ate My Vote website maintains an ongoing list of states using the controversial voting machines. Wired reports that California and Nevada have already passed legislation requiring a paper print-out. A paper print-out would resolve the issue of whether or not a person cast the vote they intended to.
